Karolien
Verheyen

I've studied visual arts and photography in Brussels. At the same time I studied music (percussion and guitar) in Mechelen, Belgium.

Since 1999 I have had many exhibitions in Ireland, Belgium and London.

Themes were: Syria, USA, Cuba, The Old Convent, Hiding Places of Children...current theme is 'The Souls of Inanimate Things'.

Here I try to connect objects with stories that they tell themselves. The object is not 'soulless' anymore but has a soul and is alive.

These stories are linked to our environment, politics and war.

The social linked with art.

I've also published a book of poems and two short stories.
